Emma Sweeney Agency is a small literary agency based in New York City.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves:

Emma Sweeney Agency LLC was formed in 2006 and is a
boutique literary agency based in New York City. We've had eight New York Times
bestsellers, including At the Water's Edge, Mrs Poe, In The Shadow of the
Banyan, How It All Began, Water for Elephants, Ape House, Making Rounds with
Oscar, and The Joy of Living. Our authors have won The Booker Prize and the
American Book Award, been short-listed for the Orange Prize, and are Guggenheim
Fellows as well as the recipients of NEA grants.

We specialize in general
fiction, historical fiction and narrative nonfiction projects including memoir,
history, science and religion. We work with co-agents in every territory, from
the UK and Australia to Germany, Spain, France, Italy, eastern Europe, and
Asia, and make dozens of foreign rights sales (as well as audio and first
serial sales) for our clients every year.

Margaret Sutherland Brown has recently joined the agency, and like all new
agents, she needs authors. Margaret previously worked as an associate editor at
Thomas Dunne Books / St. Martin’s Press and as a freelance editor.
